Cinnamon Leaf Oil (Organic)
Oil Summary: Cinnamon leaf oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, part of the Laurel botanical family. Native to Sri Lanka and India, oil derived from the leaves has a high level of phenols, as opposed to oils distilled from the bark, which are higher in aldehydes. Cinnamon leaf oil is lighter weight and much less expensive than cinnamon bark oil, and is less of a skin irritant, which makes it more popular for everyday use. Its scent is warm, earthy, musky, sweet and spicy with a medium middle fragrance note. The oil itself is a clear, light yellow liquid with a thin consistency. Its chemical constituents include eugenol, cinnamic aldehyde, eugenol acetate, linalool, and benzyl benzoate, and cinnamaldehyde to a lesser degree. The latter ingredient is what gives it its distinct aroma and flavor, but is more present in the bark than in the leaves.![]()
What Is Organic Cinnamon Leaf Oil?
Organic Cinnamon Leaf Oil is produced through steam distillation of fresh or dried cinnamon tree leaves. This process gently releases aromatic compounds from the plant material while preserving the natural scent character of the leaves. The result is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a thin consistency and a medium middle to base fragrance note.
The oil belongs to the Laurel botanical family, which includes several well-known aromatic plants. Because the leaves and bark of the cinnamon tree contain different natural compounds, the oil extracted from each plant part has unique qualities. That is why Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil should not be confused with cinnamon bark oil.
Why Choose Cinnamon Leaf Oil Instead of Bark Oil?
Many customers ask whether they should buy leaf oil or bark oil. The answer depends on aroma preference, intended use, and blending goals. Cinnamon bark oil is typically sharper, hotter, and more intense. Cinnamon leaf oil is warmer, softer, herbaceous, and often easier to use in formulas where balance matters.
Advantages of Organic Cinnamon Leaf Oil:
- Softer and more rounded aroma than bark oil
- Better suited for diffuser blends
- More economical than bark oil
- Lighter consistency
- Popular in soap and candle making
- Easier to pair with citrus, wood, and spice oils
- Preferred for everyday aromatic use
For many users, Organic Cinnamon Leaf Oil offers the best combination of scent, value, and flexibility.
Aroma Profile and Fragrance Notes

Safety and Contraindications
Contraindication: Though considered less of an irritant than cinnamon bark oil, you should still use caution when using topically. Heed all recommended dilution factors and test on a small, insensitive area of the skin before applying liberally. Avoid contact with the eyes or mucous membranes, and keep out of reach of children. It should be noted that cinnamon leaf oil is not the same as the spice in your pantry, and is not recommended for internal use due to its high phenol content. Excessive quantities may be toxic: internal use should only be undertaken while under the care of a qualified practitioner who is certified in aromatherapy with essential oils. Do not use if you are pregnant as it may cause uterine spasms.
Safety Guidelines:
- Always dilute before topical application
- Test on a small area before wider use
- Avoid eyes and mucous membranes

- Do not use internally unless under qualified professional supervision
- Avoid use during pregnancy
